Female Therapists in Yorkville, New York, NY

Hi. I am an LCSW whose clients over 18 years have truly felt cared for and helped. I work with adults, children and adolescents; and specialize in depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, family issues, career issues, loss, trauma, and abuse. I use a variety of proven techniques (supportive therapy, attachment theory, CBT, and arts therapy for adults; play and talk therapy with children). My approach is empathic, genuine, strength-based, and always aimed at helping clients make desired changes. Working with me, you will gain insight into your issues, and obtain the skills and experience to resolve your issues as quickly as possible.

I provide compassionate, evidence based psychotherapy, and work within a CBT model. I specialize in providing TEAM therapy- fast acting results oriented approach developed by Dr. David Burns at Stanford University. My approach is active, collaborative, and results driven. I provide my patients with the skills to overcome their anxiety, depression, and fears to help them get back to living more satisfying, and enjoyable lives. I push my patients to work hard to get better, so that they can achieve the results they desire. I try to develop a caring, collaborative, and supportive relationship with all my patients and their families.

Our lives are often in a state of flux and such transitions can be painful and confusing. Our minds and bodies tend to hold onto past events and hardships, which make us more vulnerable to future experiences of stress. Therapy provides a safe space to explore past and present experiences that have resulted in unwanted thoughts, feelings, or symptoms. By putting words to our inner worlds and lived experiences we can find greater relief and satisfaction in life. Insight and self-awareness are the agents of change and growth. Together we will embark on a collaborative search for greater understanding while I provide you with hope.

Choosing a therapist can be overwhelming. I’m here to support you on this journey and provide you with the space to grow whether you need a little extra support or are in a time of major change. I will meet you where you are and help you gain clarity so that you can get closer to living your most authentic life. I specialize in supporting those who are struggling in relationships, navigating life transitions, wanting to improve self-esteem, or simply looking to better understand themselves. I use an active, collaborative, empowering, and directive approach to help you get “unstuck” and live the way you deserve to be living.

My passion and focus is working with adults, adolescents, and families experiencing distress in their relationships and/or symptoms of depression and anxiety. I approach my work with clients from a place of genuine curiosity and understanding. I aim to provide a safe space where we can discuss the challenges getting in the way of achieving your goals and create a sustainable support system for lasting change in your life. I pride myself on being transparent during the process and an active participant in session.

I have been a psychotherapist for over 30 years, addressing problems of anxiety, depression, stress, eating disorders, ADHD and relationships. I have also taught graduate students and supervised psychology interns. My approach to therapy is interactive and I use psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral principles. However, I adapt my practice techniques to the unique needs of each individual. My overall goal is to increase self-awareness and self-esteem, improve the quality of relationships and increase coping skills for dealing with the conflicts of everyday life.

I am a strong, yet gentle therapist with 25+ years in agency and private practice; experience with individuals, couples, families, group; skills for crisis, short-term and extended treatment; advanced training in couple/family, cognitive, DBT, EMDR, writer/training re: dual disorders, emotion management. I welcome each person or couple as unique individuals and tailor my approach to your needs and goals. I focus on present issues and explore how they are shaped by past experience, and can support you in managing depression, anxiety, and anger. I will be glad to discuss how our work might be helpful to you.

It takes courage and strength to share your personal struggles with a therapist. My goal is to help assist you in your journey of discovering ways to cope and manage your mental health with respect, kindness, and warmth. There is something truly incredible about a human being living their authentic and complete truth without feeling burdened by mental or emotional blocks.

Do you feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or that your life is out of control? I understand how important it is to find a therapist who makes you feel safe and heard. While working together, you will receive supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental care, so that you can explore new perspectives to make positive change. Together we will create a space to meet your needs and achieve your desired outcomes. Through a holistic mind, body, and spirit approach to therapy we learn to reconnect with your body, adaptively reorganize your autonomic nervous system, and form meaningful connections with the people in your life.

Are you experiencing a lot of stress and anxiety? Would you like more fulfilling relationships? Do you have trouble managing your feelings? I can help you with those challenges. My style is supportive and interactive, and I use a wide variety of cognitive, interpersonal, and psychodynamic techniques with clients. In addition to the usual therapy issues, if you have used or are considering using assisted conception (IVF, donor egg, donor sperm, etc.) to build your family, I have a great deal of expertise with this and can help you to sort out any related questions, parenting concerns, and challenges you may have about them.

As a certified recovery coach, I work with clients who seek to change habits and gain clarity. My approach to sobriety includes providing education, support and integration of tools which aid a client's physical and emotional well-being. While addressing triggers, we work together to learn how to manage the stressors of a newly sober life. Together, we identify your inherent strengths and goals to think creatively and overcome barriers that keep you stuck.

Life long secrets? Sexual abuse? Relationship issues? Porn addiction? Youth sexual behavior problems? Hyper sexuality, preoccupation, or using sex to cope? Shame spiral, depression, anxiety? You’re desperate for relief but nothing helps. Abuse nightmares & flashbacks are spinning out of control. You’re concerned about your spouse or child's sexuality- but don’t know how to help. How do you get your relationship back on track? Do you stay or leave your marriage? Feeling hopeless? Longing for peace? These are specialty areas I have successfully helped clients with for 22 years, in addition to my work with anxiety and mood disorders.

I believe that people want to feel and do their best in all areas of their lives, and that they have the potential for doing so. I also believe that people encounter obstacles in life when they haven't been able to find their own individual sense of what is right for them. I work to help each person find that inner sense of what he or she needs and wants in life, and to access that sense when making relationship, family, career and all life-path choices.

Therapy provides a safe space to explore core issues. Many times, generational and environmental factors complicate daily life struggles. Providing a warm and empathetic environment helps people understand themselves and their situations in a new way which fosters greater self-awareness and helps to build new narratives that can lead to positive outcomes. I am a bi-lingual (Spanish), solution-focused social worker who has experience working with children, adolescents and adults utilizing individual, couple and family therapy modalities in a range of settings. I have a solid foundation for helping diverse clients achieve their goals.

I truly believe that what is mentionable, is manageable. I provide a safe space where all can feel validated, appreciated and heard while developing a unique treatment plan tailored to the client's most pressing and specific needs.

Through our therapy, my clients are able to explore new parts of themselves, make decisions, build self-esteem, reach goals, & draw boundaries that they never thought were possible. Pls call/email for a free consult.

An experienced, well-trained, contemporary psychotherapist, in practice for over 25 years, I work with adults from diverse backgrounds who are struggling to cope with life events, anxiety, depression, difficulties in relationships, bereavement, alcohol abuse, the interaction between psychological states and physical symptoms, and work and career-related problems. I work to help you alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression, understand and change self-defeating patterns, improve self-esteem and self-confidence, challenge negative perceptions, and learn new problem-solving and coping strategies.
